In the Service of the Community

Community Health and Counseling Services (CHCS) was first organized in 1883 by Board of Lady Visitors - which later came to be called Associated Charities - a group of concerned church women with the goal to unify charitable services offered by 24 different local church and religious groups near and within Bangor, Maine. The organization has supported the Maine community throughout several calamities and epidemic outbreaks. CHCS has proven helpful to events such as the Great Bangor Fire of 1911, the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918, the Halifax Harbor explosion in 1917, up to the local World War I relief effort. By 1940, CHCS started hiring its initial case workers which shifted its operations from aid coordination to the social service structure that it is today.

After several name changes, the institution finally settled with its present name: Community Health and Counseling Services (CHCS) which focused their services to clinical health assistance and mental counseling support. From then on, CHCS expanded in terms of:

• Location - To include the Kennebec, Somerset and Aroostook Counties; and
• Welfare provisions - Through home health program developments (accredited by Community Health Accreditation Program/CHAP) and hospice care via the New Hope Hospice which eventually merged with CHCS.

Community Health and Counseling Services (CHCS), after over 135 years of service to the Maine community, remain today a non-profit organization given the nature of its service. CHCS believes that, to build the community, quality care must be provided to those in need. Hence, they have designed their services with the end-goal of enhancing the quality of life of community members who are facing health challenges.
